Translation Productivity

Our computer-aided translation (CAT) tool is the best known in the business because it already helps more than 250,000 translators improve quality and efficiency via powerful and flexible translation productivity tools. SDL Trados Studio is a market-leading translation productivity tool and when you buy SDL Trados Studio, you are investing in a CAT tool that creates valuable translation memory assets, manages terminology and integrates with the full SDL Language Platform. For example, translators that work as part of a team use SDL Trados Studio with SDL GroupShare to collaborate on translation projects enabling enhanced translation productivity between project managers and translators.

Machine Translation

Machine translation (MT) is especially well positioned to address the growing volumes of localization that we are seeing in the market because of its inherent scalability and cost-effectiveness. The SDL Language Platform includes SDL Machine Translation that automates the process of translating content from one language to another (or many others). API-driven machine translation is easy to integrate into existing systems and provides seamless translation of real-time communications like social media, live chat, forum and blog content.

Software Localization

SDL Passolo allows translation professionals to localize software without the need for programming experience. SDL Passolo works with your translation memory and offers all the tools required to localize all the elements contained in the software. This includes strings, menus, dialogs, bitmaps, and icons, without having access to the source text files or the development environment used for developing the software.
